Nothing to See Here
If you went back and re-read Pressed's Friday post about the extortion plot against David Letterman, you might have noticed that the link to the YouTube video of the late night host discussing his scandal has been removed. (What, you don't go back and re-read older Pressed items?)
As the New York Times' Brian Stelter reported today, CBS spent the weekend requesting that YouTube scrub copies of Letterman's squirmy 10-minute explanation/confession. CBS.com did not post a copy of the video on its Late Show page, which may be explained away by Letterman himself (quoted by Stelter) who said, “I don’t plan to say much more about this on this particular topic."
Meanwhile, if you're looking for uncomfortable YouTube footage about the scandal to watch, there's always Jay Leno's painfully unfunny monologue on the scandal in which he says that he, too, was the victim of an extortion plot: "How do you think NBC got me to do a ten o'clock show!"
Good one, Jay! But the only victims in that equation are the viewers.
